You Have Questions... I Have Answers

Since Gossip Cbus began, I’ve been swamped with e-mail (thanks for the love)… While I’ve tried to give individual responses to several, I also know that some of the questions are questions others may have and thus, answering them publicly would be better… Therefore, from time to time, I will answer questions where everyone can see them…

Q: Does Gossip Cbus have a Facebook page?
A: Yes, we do and in the next few weeks will be launching some major initiatives with it… We simply haven’t had the opportunity to do a lot with it but I promise that will change soon… If you want to friend us now (prior to any announcements), simply search our e-mail address on facebook (It wouldn’t let us use Gossip Cbus for our name stupid facebook)…

Q: My friend forwarded me a link he received from an e-mail. Is there an update list I can join?
A: Your friend had likely e-mailed us and as a result received one of the very few (I think three total) mass e-mails we sent out… I don’t like mass e-mails and as a result, Gossip Cbus probably wont do one… With that said, we will have a place you can go for breaking news alerts and we will also be announcing that soon…

Q: I’ve noticed you promoted several events that you didn’t cover. Was that a result of this week’s snow?
A: Absolutely. With all due respect to the brave people who ventured out Wednesday, I was not about to… Weather is a constant variable and unfortunately, it sometimes wrecks out schedule (and several cars)…

Q: You said last week that you don’t consider other Columbus publications or websites your competitors? If this is the case, why should I read you and not them?
A: If you want to read the others and us, please do so… But, since you asked why you should read us, read us because we are better. Columbus Alive, U Weekly, the Other Paper, 614 Magazine, Metromix, and Columbus Underground… All of us have a role, but none of these outlets publishes anything on the volume of legitimate news we do… With Gossip Cbus, there’s always the possibility of finding out something you didn’t know…
